Chapter 49: Road Encounters Barbarians
Xu Jinfeng's animal-removing medicine powder was very effective. After Wang Cheng and his friends left the market at night, the carnivorous beasts and low-level monsters that came out to hunt at night avoided them.
Just after midnight, they walked hundreds of miles southeastward and walked safely through this journey that was most likely to be ambushed.
Generally speaking, a malignant bandit cultivator can determine the location of the target at any time unless he knows the direction of the target's journey in advance or does something to the target. Otherwise, when the target is ambushed, he will choose a place close to the market.
Otherwise, the fields are vast, how can they ensure that their target passes by where they are ambushed?
After Wang Cheng and his friends arrived at Huoyuan Ridge, they stayed silent. Apart from the work of Xianzhan and the shopkeeper, they had never dealt with anyone. Of course, no one knew where they were going.
So if someone really has malicious intentions towards them and has been waiting outside for a few days, the most likely thing is to ambush not far from the market.
But now I have not encountered an ambush after walking a hundred miles. Either it means there is no enemy at all, or the enemy's ambush is in the wrong direction, or they are not discovered in darkness.
In short, after walking a hundred miles away without encountering danger, the group of four people also felt relieved and did not continue to rush the night, but dug a cave under a hillside for temporary rest.
While resting, the few people inevitably talked about the veterinary medicine powder that helped tonight.
Zhu Yuanliang looked at Xu Jinfeng with bright eyes and said, "Elder Xu's animal-removing medicine powder is so effective. It should be that the feces of the second-level monsters were added as raw materials!"
"Oh, does Elder Zhu also know how to make veterinary medicine powder?"
Xu Jinfeng looked at Zhu Yuanliang with a surprised expression, but did not deny what Zhu Yuanliang said.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanliang couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "That's not the case. In addition to practicing, Zhu devoted all his energy to refining weapons. He didn't have the heart to study these things. He just walked in the world of immortal cultivation for decades and saw many people using animal-removing medicine powder. He knew that the main materials of this medicine powder were all the feces of various monsters!"
"Since Elder Zhu is a knowledgeable person and everyone is a fellow disciple, the old man is not hiding it anymore. Yes, the old man's animal-removing medicine powder is indeed mixed with the feces of the second-level monster [Flame Tiger], so it can have such a great effect on those wild beasts and low-level monsters!"
Xu Jinfeng looked at Zhu Yuanliang deeply, then nodded slightly, revealing some details without shy away from it.
After saying that, she immediately said: "However, this powerful veterinary drug powder made with [Fire Tiger] feces is not much. When I was able to buy this item, I was lucky enough to meet a sect's serious disciple selling this item!"
Hearing her words, Zhu Yuanliang didn't know what he thought of, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "So it's better to be a big sect. Even if the shit from the high-level spirit beasts of the sect are picked up by the low-level cultivator, they can make a small fortune!"
"Ahem..."
Wang Cheng suddenly coughed lightly, interrupting the conversation between the two elders.
There was no way, Zhu Yuanliang said such words. If the head of the sect didn't say anything, who would know if Xu Jinfeng, who was determined to retire in Qingyun Sect, would be ruined by this bad old man who "had a long time ago".
He looked at Xu Jinfeng and said, "Elder Xu's veterinary drug powder is so effective. On the next journey, there may be some places that will bother Elder Xu to continue using this item."
"Of course, please rest assured. After returning to the mountain gate, our sect will do our best to help Elder Xu find materials to prepare more anti-veterinary medicine powder."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "There are not many other places in this wilderness, but there are many monsters. The second-level monsters may not be able to deal with them now, but it is not impossible to get some second-level monster feces!"
When Xu Jinfeng heard this, he immediately responded solemnly: "President, please rest assured. Since I have joined the Qingyun Sect, I will naturally give priority to the interests of the sect first. As long as the leader speaks, I will use up all the veterinary medicine powder on my body, and I will never complain at all!"
This is the gap!
Wang Cheng glanced at Zhu Yuanliang next to him, and then praised Xu Jinfeng with a smile on his face.
In this way, after resting in the cave for half a night, the next day, he continued to compare the simple map in Wang Cheng's hand and headed towards the Qingyun Mountains.
When they were rushing through the day, the four of them didn't have to walk anymore.
Wang Cheng and Zhu Yuanliang both have flying magic weapons, each of which can fly low with one person, and the speed is much faster than walking.
Moreover, as long as you don’t encounter a large group of flying monsters or second-level monsters, with the four-person lineup, it is difficult to hurt them at all.
Just one day, they drove 1,200 miles.
If everything goes well, Wang Cheng and the others will be able to successfully return to Qingyun Sect in just over half a month.
But the actual situation will naturally not be smooth sailing.
Around the fifth day after leaving Huoyuan Ridge, Wang Cheng and the others encountered the first big trouble.
"Hurry, hurry up, everyone run faster. After crossing the big river ahead, these barbarians will not dare to chase after you!"
In the wilderness, Wang Cheng and his party were running away in a panic.
The reason for the three was that Wang Cheng was carrying the injured Yu Shiyin on his back and was protected by Zhu Yuanliang and Xu Jinfeng on the left and right.
One or two hundred feet behind them, more than fifty tall barbarians with black hair, black skin, dark eyes, long black hair, and uncovered clothes were screaming and holding sharp weapons to chase them fiercely.
At the same time, in the sky, four barbarian warlocks rode a black eagle bird and continued to cast spells to attack Wang Cheng and others.
It is precisely because of the existence of these four barbarian warlocks and black eagle birds that Wang Cheng and the others dare not fly with weapons and could only run on the ground.
There are three types of barbarians of Yuanlong Star. According to their appearance, cultivators named them Heiman, Green Man, and White Man respectively, and collectively called Sanman.
The barbarians who are chasing Wang Cheng and the others are Hei Man. Hei Man is not as intelligent as Lu Man and Bai Man, but he is born with divine power and is as strong as a monster.
The adult male black barbarian can reach 1 zhang tall and its strength can reach 3,000 kilograms. Among them, the excellent ones can even reach 10,000 kilograms of ability. They can pose a threat to the practitioners in the Qi training stage with their huge strength alone.
Now the more than fifty barbarians who were chasing behind Wang Cheng and the others were all adult male black barbarians, and they all had the power to injure or even kill cultivators in the Qi training stage.
Yu Shiyin, who was injured on Wang Cheng's back, was broken by a spear shot out by a black barbarian. She was hit by a spear in her thigh and even her leg bone was broken!
It is precisely because these black barbarians have extremely powerful power that is enough to injure the cultivators in the Qi training stage that Wang Cheng and the other two are so embarrassed now.
Otherwise, with their cultivation strength, the four barbarian sorcerers in the sky who are equivalent to the middle and late stages of qi training, even if they have the help of flying monsters, they will not be their opponents.
However, although the Black Barbarian is extremely powerful, unless he is the kind of warlock in the sky who knows spells and beast-controlling techniques, he is also a mortal with infinite power. He also needs tools to overcome such natural dangers as rivers.
So as long as Wang Cheng and his friends escape to the river, they ordered their flying magic weapons to fly across the river. Without the help of ordinary black barbarians, a few barbarian warlocks could no longer pose a threat to them.
Unfortunately, although the IQ of the Black Barbarians is slightly lower, the IQ of the barbarian warlocks is not inferior to that of normal humans, and they are also very familiar with the nearby terrain.
Therefore, when he saw Wang Cheng and the others running away to this side, he soon realized their intentions and the offensive became more and more fierce, trying to leave them before they crossed the river.
"These damn barbarian warlocks are so arrogant. Elder Zhu and Elder Xu, you can use magic weapons to help me protect the Dharma later. I'll try to keep one or two of them!"
Wang Cheng looked up at the four black eagles in the sky with cold eyes, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The injury of the junior sister Yu Shiyin made him extremely angry and he urgently needed to kill a few black barbarians to vent his anger!
"Even if the leader takes action, I will definitely live up to what the leader wants!"
Zhu Yuanliang was also angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. At this time, after hearing Wang Cheng's words, he immediately responded.
Xu Jinfeng also said firmly: "Even old man will not let these barbarians hurt the head's hair."
After receiving the promises of the two elders, Wang Cheng immediately asked his junior sister Yu Shiyin to hold him tightly, and then held two magic weapons, "Qingyun Sword" and "Chinyan Sword" with both hands, waiting for the opportunity to take action.
After waiting for a while, the river ahead was already in sight. The four barbarian warlocks in the sky were furious and activated the black eagle to lower the height, preparing to cast more accurately to attack the three people on the ground.
That's now!
Wang Cheng suddenly shouted, and the magic weapon held in both hands flew out at the same time, shooting towards the two black eagles.
The two black eagle birds did not react slowly. After finding that they had become targets of attack, they immediately cried and intended to change direction and dodge the attack.
Previously, they had used this method to avoid more than one attack from below.
But this time, they miscalculated.
The blue sword energy and red fire light flashed. The sword energy and spells attached to [Qingyun Sword] and [Red Flame Sword] were activated at the same time by Wang Cheng, and in the blink of an eye it fell on the two black eagles birds.
Suddenly, one of these two first-level mid-grade monsters, half of their wings was cut off by sword energy on the spot, and blood sprinkled in the sky and fell to the ground quickly.
Another black eagle bird hit by [Red Flame Stream] was even worse, and its body was directly pierced by the hot fire pillar, and red flames burned all over its body, and it also whimpered and fell to the ground quickly.
This scene also scared the remaining two black eagles. They first screamed and rushed to climb up the height, instinctively trying to avoid danger.
But soon, under the scolding of the barbarian sorcerer on his back, he rushed towards the two falling black vulture birds, intending to save the barbarian sorcerer on the bird's back.
